Differential bearing shims (4067), located between the differential
bearing cups (4222) and the
rear axle housing, adjust the differential bearing preload and the ring gear
backlash.

The differential case (4204) is a one-piece design with two openings to
allow for assembly of
the internal components and lubricant flow. Two opposed tapered roller
bearings (differential
bearings) (4221) support the differential case in the axle housing.
Removable bearing caps
(4010) retain the differential assembly in the axle housing.

Removal
1. Remove the differential assembly from the differential housing. For
additional information, refer
to Differential Case in this section.
2. CAUTION: Record the torque necessary to maintain ...
